Program Overview

Students looking to experience Latin America while studying Business, Language & Culture, and the Humanities will find a home at the Instituto Tecnológico de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM). The Queretaro campus offers one of the most diverse environments with more than 8% of the community being international students. ITESM has a long standing tradition of encouraging an international curriculum, offering 30% of its regular classes in English and providing international students the ability to integrate into social life on campus. After a day of classes students can explore the city which is recognized as one of the safest, and most culturally and technologically advanced cities in Latin America. Students can take Salsa lessons in the afternoons and have a taste of delicious Mexican food at night in the city.

This program is a direct enrollment option. These programs are great because it keeps the cost of participating manageable, however many direct enrollment options are more independent experiences. This means that students apply directly to the university abroad as a visiting international student for a semester or a year. Tuition and fees are dictated by the university abroad and paid directly to them.

Passports and Visas

A valid passport is essential to your international travel and study abroad. If you are planning to travel abroad, its best to apply for a passport now as processing times may vary. Please see the State Department's passport page for more information.

UC International is happy to guide UC faculty, staff and students to possible resources about visas for study abroad. Although, applying for the necessary visa for travel is the responsibility of the individual UC traveler. Entry requirements change frequently and we advise you to pay close attention to consular updates. It is your responsibility to knowing and addressing the requirements for your host study abroad destination.

Applying for a visa can be a complicated process. Some UC travelers choose to third party to assist with this process, for example Travisa or A Briggs (mention UC for a possible discount).

All UC students participating in a University of Cincinnati sanctioned or funded international travel program are required to purchase and maintain insurance while abroad. UC International partners with CISI to provide insurance for UC students.
